I was hoping that you all could help me brainstorm additional excuses that you all have heard
Eyewear:My glasses fog up.I have to wear prescription glasses and safety glasses don't fit over my prescription glasses.They hurt my ears.The lenses are scratched.I can't get close enough to my work (microscope use).I'm working in the biosafety cabinet, fume hood, glove box and I have the sash/window in front of me..
Lab coat:Too hotToo tightToo looseToo longToo shortThe sleeves drag in my work.Someone else wore it and it's not clean.It might get caught in the equipment.I don't care if my clothes get chemicals on them.I'm allergic.
Fundamentally, I think, it's ill-fitting PPE that people don't want to wear. If you go down this road, I hope the Institute is prepared to invest in a variety of sizes and shapes of PPE.
Itll be interesting to see what others come up with.
BestDebbie
